Reviews

A timely and most insightful book about the power of language in populist regimes. * LINGUIST List * The papers in this thought-provoking volume explore Donald Trump's distinctive use of language from the perspectives of discourse and corpus studies. They reveal just how marked Trump's language is and suggest potential strategies underpinning it. The book is essential reading for anyone interested in political language or Trump's presidency. * Susan Hunston, Professor of English Language, University of Birmingham, UK * This intriguing collection of investigations into President Trump's language addresses popular (mis-)conceptions about his speech style by exploiting a wide variety of linguistics approaches from corpus linguistics to close reading. It discusses to what extent his idiolect links to political developments of the 21st century. All contributions proceed from media claims about Trump's language with the aim of testing whether these claims withstand vigorous linguistic testing. * Alan Scott Partington, Professor of Linguistics, University of Bologna at Forli, Italy * This is a fascinating book that brings together leading experts from across linguistics to describe and explore Donald Trump's unique style of communication. These studies provide us with a new perspective on how Trump rose to the presidency of the United States and how he has governed since. * Jack Grieve, Professor of Corpus Linguistics, University of Birmingham, UK *

A timely and most insightful book about the power of language in populist regimes. * LINGUIST List * The volume offers in-depth descriptions of Trump's linguistic style and discursive strategies ... drawing on both quantitative and qualitative linguistic analyses. The results of the analyses provide nuanced insight into Trump's communicative style and campaign strategy. * Journal of Pragmatics * It is beyond doubt that this publication makes a timely contribution, with its full potential not only to appeal to researchers and students interested in the specifics of Trump's discourse, but to a much broader audience drawn to the volume's topic. The book represents a well-written and engaging read that is a credit to its contributors; defined by its solid, high-quality investigations ... [it] is the best study of Trump's discursive and communicative sills that can be found today. * Pragmatics and Society * The papers in this thought-provoking volume explore Donald Trump's distinctive use of language from the perspectives of discourse and corpus studies.
